No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are so easy to do.  I rolled mine in ground almonds instead of the coconut due to my coconut hater in the house.  These taste much better the second day.

1 can sweetened condensed milk 300ml
36 graham wafer squares or 2 1/2 cups crumbs
1 pkg chocolate chops 350 g
coconut

If using squares, crush until fairly fine.  Mix the sweetened condensed milk, crumbs and chocolate chips.  Form into balls.  Roll the balls in coconut and place on wax paper until set.  Store in sealed containers. No cooking required.  Makes 48 balls

Snowballs

These are so simple…and delicious

3 cups dry unsalted roasted peanuts
300ml can sweetened condensed milk
icing sugar

Finely chop peanuts.  Put in saucepan on low.  Pour in milk and heat and stir until mixture forms a big ball (approximately 10 to 15 minutes).  Remove from heat.  When cool enough to handle roll into small bite size balls and roll in icing sugar.
